We are very excited to welcome Deacon Bill Kenney as the new instructor of our Altar Serving Ministry!

Our parish is currently in need of Altar Servers. This includes adults as well as children. We are asking that you take time to pray and discern whether you might be called to this ministry.

If you are interested serving in this way, please contact the main office at 517-223-8684 or email Deacon Bill at wkenney8@sbcglobal.net.

Please help us to encourage the newly trained altar servers. We are very proud of their enthusiasm for serving the Lord. We are hope to see many of them serving in the near future.
